I want to look at the torque arm mount. I have a strong feeling it is on its way out. Maybe i am just looking for excuses but i think i can hold my own rowin through the gears. I am pretty sure i am losing all my time at the line.

Lets think about it... if i can pull a 1.8 60' like i think i should, that would take 4 tenths off in the sixty which equates to like 8 tenths right there. coupled with the bad air its in the high 11's. I am thinking drag radial before i junk it...
Your trap speed should stay within 1-2 mph no matter what 60' you get. Just get to know the car and learn how to drive the 6spd like ron and the car will be in the 11's. If your that worried about it, go get the car dynoed to see what it's putting down. That'll take the guessing out of whether it's you or the car that is causing the slow times.
